Ever see someone killed by the use of too many tranquilizers?  Had a gal in a 
nursing home years ago that had them prescribed for her when she acted up and 
out.  Her real mental problem was never properly diagnosed.  At any rate, the 
other nurses used to give he r the drugs, I used a wet sheet pack when she 
got too much to put up with. 
 She finally died when I was off for a coule of nights. 
 Doctors and medical people can kill legally.  They do this much too often 
when they are too damn stupid to figure out what the real problem is and deal 
with that instead of reach for the nearest drug and attempt to apply a fast 
fix.
